Abe Odedina is a Nigerian-born artist based in London and Salvador Bahia, whose bold and mythical paintings draw from the rich figurative and oral traditions of African art, infused with a trace of magic realism. His work seeks to revive and deconstruct classical themes from various mythologies to create a charged dialogue between epochs, cultures, and peoples, and to arouse the imagination and heart of the viewer.
